To all whmi 'i t may concern.-

. Be itknown that I, PA'r' 10K B. DELiANY, a

- citizen of t'he'Unit'ed States, residing'at South v .Ora e, county ofEssex,

" of a perforated stance,

'1- of the armature I .tor.

State of New Jerse'y,; av'ein've'nted "certain new and usefulImprovements in Telegraphic-Tape Perfoowing is a specifica- The objectof this invention is to simplify the circuits and apparatus of anelectromagnetic telegra hic-ta e perforator adapted to be operatedibcally b from a distanceeither by a Morse key or a transmitter of otherdescription-such, for instance, as a keyboard-transmitter ortransmitting contact-fingers ordinarily employed in connection withperforated transnnttingta in automatic telegraphy.

he primary feature of this new or anization is the employment ofcircuits a (1 contacts therefor controlled by the armaturelevers of the'punch-magnets for opening the respective circuits of the magnets afterthey have been energized too erate the punches.

In the accompanying a diagrammatic view showing( operated locally by aMorse ey; Fig. 2, a

view showing a similar arrangement, the Morse key being placed at aistance and controlling a relay disposed locally with reference to theperforator; Fig. 3, a like view showing a transmitter for sendingimpulses of alternating polarity through the medium transmittingetape,for inwhich impulses control the position 'of the polarized relay 10-with reference to the perforacally disposed Referrin to'Fi'g. 1, a isaMorse key, the lever of w ich is connected to the punchmagnet battery'1), one pole of the.battery being connected the polarized relay 0,which normally rests against thecontact-stop d, connected through v of".the punch-magnet, 5o, 0 t

the punch-magnets, with the bottom stop a of the Morse key. The'back-sto a of the Morse key, against which the keyever normally bears,is connected through the coils thence to the opposite contact-stop (1 hearmature-lever c.

.-The polariz'ed-reliry-reversing battery 9 is connected from-its middlethrough the coils ofthe polarized relay to two insulated cony a Morsekey as well as' rawings, Figure 1 is a perforator.

to the armature-lever c of hich when in normally retracted position arelseparated from their. respective contactstops g, connected-with Oppositepoles of the s it or divided battery g.

W en the Morse key is depressed against its bottom stop or anvil a, thecircuit of the batteryb is closed and is as follows: from one pole ofthe battery and bottom stop to the winding of punch-' magnet e, thencetothe contact-stop d and polarizd-relayarmature-lever c, thence to theother pole-of the battery, and the armature-le ver-e' is attractedto-actuate its punch. In. the movement, however, of this armatureleverthe circuit Of'the batter g is closed at the contacts g and the poarized relay 0 is immediate y reversed, its armature-lever passing tothe contact d, thus opening the cir cuit of the punch-magnet e. Morse keis raisedand contact between its leve'r an its back-stop a is com leted,circuit of the battery I) is closed t rough the punch-magnet f, theattraction of whose armature to actuate its punch is immediatelyfollewed by the closing of the circuit of the local battery 9 at thecontacts g g, and the polarized relay is immediately reversed, itsarmature-lever passing to its normal position against its contact-stopd.

In Fig. 2 the arrangement is in all respects the same, except that therethe Morse key'is placed at a distance in a circuit including a battery hand aneutral relay i, the armature-lever and front and back contactstopsof which correspond electrically with through the key-lever I g on theleversof the punch-magents I When the I opposed pairs of contact-fingersthe lower 1 ones of' which areconnected as ordinarily with, oppositeoles of a battery 7c and the upper ones wit a line or circuit connectionm, passing through relay 0, havin except as to its olarity, a neutral orun iased armature wliichl, with its contact-stops, corresponds to theMorse key and its contact-sto s. (Shown in Fig. '1.)

This invention as been characterized as a the coil of the polarizedtape-perforator, but is Of course ap licable' to recording transmittedmessa es ot erwise than by the perforation of t e receivingtapesforinstance, by mere puncture or by indentation or embossing thereof or byink or electrochemical recording.

I claim-as my inventionj 1. An apparatus for recordingelectrically-transmitted signals, comprising the combination Withrecording-magnets, their armature-levers and transmitting means forcontrolling the circuits of the magnets, of means controlled by therespective armaturelevers whereby each, on each actuation thereof, opensthe circuit of its own magnet and closes the circuit-path of the othermagnet.

2. An apparatus for the recording of electrically transmitted signals,comprising the combination of magnets e, f, their armaturelevers,polarized relay its battery, and circuit connections and contactscontrolled by the armature-levers for reversing the polarized relay toopen the circuit of said magnets e, f, after each actuation of itsarmaturelever. g

8. An apparatus for the recording of electrically-transmitted signals,comprising the combination of magnets c, f, polarized relay 0, itsbattery and circuit connections, its armature and circuit connections,and I'nea'n's controlled by said armature and connections for reversingthe position of said armature.

4. An a zlparatus for recording electricallytransmitte signals,comprising the combination of its recording-magnets, a relay, its leverand actuated lever and its contacts, said recording-magnets controlledby said "levers and their contacts and means controlled by jointoperation of said levers for reversing the position of said relay-leverafter eac electrically-transmitted signal.

5. An a apa'ratus for recording electricallytransmi'tte signals,comprising the combination of recording-magnets, a relay, its armatureand contacts controlling said recording-magnets, an independentlyoperated lever controlling said relay, and contacts controlled by saidrecording-magnets for jointly controlling said relay and its contacts.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
